If Princeton goes .500 is the season a failure? Also how long is the leash Daniels has? does a losing season put him on the hotseat?

.500 for Princeton would not be a failure but not what you are looking for. A losing season for Daniels would not put him in the hot seat yet, but definitely would be concerning with having a good amount of talent there

Those kids on Chester Road deserve some freaking consistency from their coaches. They could be really special if there wasn't such a revolving door.

Sadly that's not the mission of the decision makers, they would rather have a "name" (whose mission is to make his name great) vs. someone who would be committed to staying and making Princeton's name great

Thats why I asked because they have talent. I think they have potential to win 7-8 games if they can fix the offense.

i think Daniels is committed for awhile, lots of speculation on this board of what is going on with that program. until its proven other wise ill continue to back the program.

Ha...yea he's committed until the second someone in the college ranks offers him a job. And it's no secret he's trying to parlay the two big recruits that are going to be juniors, into a position for himself.

I'd LOVE to be optimistic about Masons chances this upcoming year, but I don't think they'll finish better than 5-5 or 6-4. They've just lost too much and the talent is not there to replace the kids they're losing. These graduating seniors have been looked at by many as the most talented class to ever come out of Mason. Watching many of the kids who are following them does not give me much optimism. My guess is they don't finish higher than fifth for the foreseeable future.

Eight of the eleven starters on an outstanding defense were seniors. Almost every starter was an All GMC selection. Zaid Hamdan (DL Ohio State) and Jake Bracher (LB Akron) were first team All Southwest and first team All City. Hamdan was named All State as well and Bracher led the team in tackles the past two years. Other All GMC seniors were Tyree and Tyrell Mizell, and Cole Pearce. This was a defense which recorded 6 shutouts doing the course of the season. They do have both starting defensive ends, seniors Casey Miller and Chase Evans returning and they are very good. Senior Cameron Wood was at defensive tackle for the majority of the year and he comes back as well as senior Don Nigroe at a Safety spot. Junior Jake Orlando also did an outstanding job when he stepped in at the DB position. It will have to be seen how junior LB Jack Haglich bounces back after a nasty ankle injury in the last JV game last season. Another question will be the effect of losing the Defensive coordinator they've had for the past two years. Barak Faulk has left and taken the Head Coaching job at Monroe. At least one assistant and his very talented defensive lineman son are joining him. It's going to be hard because to a large extent the defense reflected Faulks hard nosed, aggresive personality.

Offensively, how does Mason replace first team All State, All SWO and All City Matt Sora (RB Indiana State) Answer, they can't! Coaches throughout the GMC have been waiting three years for him to leave. Besides Sora, the Comets also lose All GMC players, Will Adams (QB UC), Tanner Knue (Slot Back Eastern Michigan) Austin Croy (WR Ohio U) Christian Hutchinson (TE Navy) Buzz Crogan (C Marian University) and Eric Miller (T Purdue). The only sophomores and juniors to see any playing time last year were RB Logan Dalton, T Brogan Reed, G Emerik Moser and WR Alec Dardis.

There's going to be a BIG drop off this year compared to what Mason fans have become accustomed to these past three years. While I hope for the best there is no way Coach Castner will be able to replace the talent, the leadership or the work ethic he's enjoyed and it's going to be a struggle.

Hearing Faulk at Monroe is running into problems, students in school saying back to Mason?

While I cannot confirm or deny, I've heard the same thing. Question is, where's that put his son who I believe has been attending Monroe but has never played for them? There has to be some sort of hardship allowance.

At least 1,500 yards lol. Nobody in the GMC has figured out how to stop Colerain's running attack

Neither has anyone out-of-state either. I was just talking to someone yesterday about Colerain's record against out-of-state teams. I think Lou Trinity is the only team from OOS that has ever defeated Colerain in decades. Teams come in thinking they're going to stomp little Colerain and they either lose by a little or get slaughtered by Colerain.
